It's not about fashion, it's about the fact that we have long folklore about people in suits. Almost everyone who is in a suit is out to get you for something. Bosses, Ignorant Managers, Salesmen, Estate Agents[0], Religious salesmen, etc, etc.
Almost all of those are people who prey on the weak, the meek, and the pitiful.
hiss.

- TeMPOraL 9y agoAlso power, which implies risk. Besides the various kinds of salesmen, which you can recognize quickly, people wearing suits are usually those with power that can affect you - bosses, managers, lawyers, government officials. Piss them off, and they can ruin your day. Or life. So one learns to be extra careful around people in suits.
- draw_down 9y agoThat's really silly. You can be exploited by people in jeans and tshirts. Hell, it's happening to me right now.
- sidlls 9y agoYes, one can be, but for decades spanning more than a few generations the norm has been that more formal dress was associated with that class of exploiter.

- fao_ 9y agoYup. Some bosses are alright.
